Lending Feature available for KINDLE........

Have you heard the good news from Amazon.

Lending Kindle Books

Eligible Kindle books can be loaned once for a period of 14 days. The borrower does not need to own a Kindle -- Kindle books can also be read using our free Kindle reading applications for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android devices. Not all books are lendable -- it is up to the publisher or rights holder to determine which titles are eligible for lending. The lender will not be able to read the book during the loan period.

The only issue now is seeing what books are actually available to lend. I think I will make a list of what ebooks I have that are available.

I'm trying to think if I could use this to lend books I read on my Kindle and then write a review. I've been doing a giveaway of regular books, but what about a lend/giveaway of the book. Do you think that people would like that? They would only have 2 weeks to read it, but still...

I just received a Nook for Christmas and I'm still trying to learn what it can do. I love a real book and kind of looked down on e-readers, but I have to admit, I was wrong. It is pretty exciting to be able to get a book instantly and carry around a ton of them, all hidden in that neat little device. Lesson learned! LOl...
